Description
The Lissitzky, an iconic figure of Russian constructivism, is the author of "basic calculation - 1928," a work that stands out for its rigorous geometric precision and its austere chromatism. This painting is a faithful reflection of the ideology and constructivist aesthetics that Lissitzky promoted throughout his career, in which elements of graphic design, architecture and mathematics converge, forming a visual symphony of lines and shapes.
The painting, faithful to constructivist aesthetics, dispenses with any figurative reference and focuses on the exploration of geometry and color. The color palette is reduced and thoroughly selected: the white, black, gray and red tones dominate. These colors not only mark an emphatic contrast, but also encapsulate a search for formal purity, where color becomes an essential component to delineate space and shapes.
In "basic calculation," the eye is guided methodically through a series of geometric lines and shapes. An immaculate white background serves as a canvas so that various geometric figures are arranged in a harmonious balance. The straight and curves cross and overlap with millimeter precision, establishing a visual rhythm reminiscent of a mathematical calculations sheet, hence the relevance of the title.
A series of red circles add dynamism and breaks with the rigidity of black and gray lines. These circular elements seem to float on the surface, creating a sense of depth and three -dimensionality, and suggesting a balance between the static and the dynamic. The disposition of these forms can be interpreted as an attempt by Lissitzky to find a universal harmony through geometric simplicity, without resorting to complex or lush forms.
The white and open background gives an almost diagram to the composition, reinforcing the notion that Lissitzky saw his works not only as art pieces, but as visual communication tools, aimed at educating and clarifying concepts of space, form and structure. The austerity of the work reflects a modern sensitivity that rejects the ornamental in favor of functional clarity.
The inevitable comparison with other works by Lissitzky, such as his famous "Proun", reveals a continuity in the artist's obsession for multidimensional spaces and his soft and rigorously calculated transitions. In these works, Lissitzky not only proposes a new visual language, but also challenges the observer to reconsider his perception of space and art itself.
In conclusion, "Basic calculation - 1928" is a crystalline manifestation of the constructivism of the Lissitzky, where each line, each color and each form are combined to form a work that is both a study of geometry and a piece of visual art. His focus on the purity of shapes and colors not only defines his characteristic style, but also makes this painting a lasting testimony of the relationship between art and mathematics in the Russian avant -garde of the twentieth century.
